License
a license file GitHub does not identify

Draft a git commit message documenting what changed and why, with the findings that drove it, for review before committing.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# orient-commit

Draft a git commit message that documents what changed and why, present it for
review, and commit only after explicit approval.

## 0. Secret gate (run first)
Before anything else, refuse to commit a secret. From `git diff --staged`:
- If a staged file is a `.env` (any name except `*.example`), STOP.
- If the staged diff contains a secret literal — `AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}`, `ghp_[A-Za-z0-9]{36}`,
  `sk-[A-Za-z0-9]{20,}`, or `-----BEGIN [A-Z ]*PRIVATE KEY-----` — STOP.

On a match: name the file and line, tell the user to unstage it
(`git restore --staged <file>`) and rotate the key. Never commit it, never work around this.

## 1. Determine what's staged
Read `git diff --staged`. If nothing is staged, read `git diff` and `git status`,
list the changed files, and ask which to stage. Never run `git add -A` unprompted.

## 1b. Reminder: is a dependency change worth an ADR?
From `git diff --staged --name-only`: if a dependency or build manifest is staged —
`package.json`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`, `Gemfile`,
`pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, `composer.json`, `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml` (lockfiles
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chaitanya299/orient/orient-commit@sha256:550501dfc0c553bc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.2f633cd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
